Will Anthony Davis be traded before the February deadline? This season, the five-time All-Star is averaging 27 points with 12.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game. He argues whether or not Boston will in fact be willing to give Irving a max contract next summer. The Pelicans won 116 to 115. "It felt good tonight to win like that because that's who we are". "We've got to find a way to take it on the road now".

In a league of super-teams, it's not a great sign when a player feels he has to do it all to keep his team competitive.

The Lakers landed LeBron James in free agency before the 2018 season and appear to be in play for yet another National Basketball Association star. "'[Paul] represents LeBron, so A.D.is going there, ' and all of that". Jaylen Brown has come under intense scrutiny for his displays and according to ESPN's Real Plus/Minus ranking, he ranks 407th out of 434 total players and he has more turnovers so far than assists. And while the Celtics are coming off a 124-107 win over the Pelicans, Kyrie Irving knows the team is in a bad spot.

Coach Alvin Gentry, star Anthony Davis and the Pelicans have repeatedly said they are focused strictly on this season.

But the Pelicans have few paths to improve. Giles played in both games of a back to back over the weekend and scored double digits in both games, providing hope that he can live up to some of his hype of becoming the next transcending big man. The Celtics destroyed their closest rivals (76ers) in the season opener, and it looked as though the team had a chance to win their first Championship in a decade.

The question is where that might be. The Lakers are in a somewhat similar position. In this picture, Davis reacts during a game against the Sacramento Kings at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, Oct. 19, 2018. Davis is the type of game-changing star who could extend their title run as their main stars age into their 30s. When James and Durant hit the market, half the league volleyed for their services.
